Neopan

Neopan was originally a family of black-and-white films from Japanese manufacturer Fujifilm for both professional and amateur use.

[6] A reformulated version of Neopan 100 ACROS,“achieving ultra-high image quality with world-class granularity and three-dimensional tone reproduction" to address the loss of some component raw materials that led to the original's withdrawal.

This new emulsion appears to differ slightly from the original ACROS with "the gradation of the highlight part [..] designed to be sharper" according to machine translations of the Japanese press release.

The new packaging for 120 format comes with 'Made in UK' labelling and is only available in single rolls compared to Fujifilms normal 5-roll packs leading to speculation about the films origin.

Although the emulsion coating is still undertaken at the Kanagawa Factory, Ashigara in Japan, users speculate that conversion and packaging has been outsourced to Harman Technology in the UK.

It was advertised as panchromatic and high speed, with a nitrate base that was dangerous if exposed to heat or flame.

[22] Neopan 1600 Professional ('Super Presto' in Japan) was an ultra high speed panchromatic film with E.I.

Neopan 400CN was an ISO 400 General purpose C-41 process chromogenic B&W film on a triacetate base.

[23] ACROS was an ISO 100 speed professional ortho-panchromatic black-and-white photographic film for portraits, landscape, architectural subjects and product photography.

It used fuji color film technology to give high sharpness and fine grain.

The lack of availability of some of the film component raw materials was cited as the reason for its withdrawal.
